Ep 01: POSITIONING With Purpose in your Procurement Career: (Ditch the should, embrace the want).

Episode 01: POSITIONING With Purpose in your Procurement Career: (Ditch the should, embrace the want). Welcome to Episode 01 of the Procurement Pivots Podcast. In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most important and often overlooked skills when it comes to building a career in procurement: POSITIONING. This is something that comes up in so many of our coaching conversations. Whether you’re feeling stuck, questioning your next step, or simply wanting to be more visible, how you position yourself really matters. And this isn’t just about applying for jobs or chasing the next title. It’s about getting clear on what you want, how you want to grow, and how to set yourself up for success in a way that feels sustainable and aligned. We talk through: • What positioning means and why it matters at every stage of your career • Internal and external positioning, and how to think differently about both • Why clarity, confidence and consistency are so important • What holds people back from being seen the way they want to be • Simple ways to get started with more intentional positioning today This is for you if you’ve ever wondered, “Is this still right for me?” or “What’s next?” and want to find a way forward that works for who you are now. Thanks for tuning in. We’re so glad you’re here. 👥 Hosted by: Donna Bowden | Procurement Career Coach, Narrate Your Career Laura Sellers | Executive & Leadership Coach, Coaching for Procurement 📅 New episodes weekly 🎧 Listen on Apple & Spotify 📺 Full episodes available on YouTube 📌 Follow us on LinkedIn: Procurement Pivots 💬 Got a topic or challenge you'd like us to cover?
